Watch your diet. Get a good night’s sleep. Exercise regularly. Avoid stress. These instructions are all part of a doctor’s prescription for heart health.
Our Sages also teach us the importance of developing a good heart, but their intention is quite different. Yes, people must take care of their physical well-being; it is a Torah requirement. But they must also work constantly on developing a good heart.
People must learn not to be suspicious, jealous, or hateful. Envy is a disease of the heart. Short temper can deal a more deadly blow than cholesterol buildup. Kindness and empathy work much better than pills in developing a healthy demeanor. Cheerfulness and pleasantness provide longevity; tranquilizers can’t do that. Aside from these benefits, a good heart also attracts people to the one who is pleasant and outgoing. Individuals look for opportunities to share their thoughts and concerns with others who demonstrate the qualities that indicate a “good heart.” If you catch yourself doing something that is harmful to the development of your good heart, stop, and check your emotional heart monitor. Change direction—from anger to serenity, from envy to generosity, from tension to calm. This only takes a minute, but the health benefits are immeasurable.
CONSIDER THIS FOR A MINUTE
People who are afraid to ask questions often visualize someone becoming angry at them for asking. To solve this, they can create pictures of themselves asking questions, and the people who are asked are grateful for the opportunity to do an act of kindness by answering the questions. (Rabbi Zelig Pliskin, Courage, page 84)
